Distinguished Service Cross Citation
  Lee A. Wadsworth, sergeant, Company H, 167th Infantry. For extraordinary
heroism in action near Landres-et-St. Georges, France, October 15, 1918. He was
severely wounded in the attack on the Cote-de-Chatillon, but he refused to be
evacuated and remained with his platoon under heavy fire, reorganizing it for
the counterattack for which the enemy were forming, thereby setting to his men
an inspiring example of utter disregard for danger and heroism in the face of
the enemy. Residence at enlistment: Mulberry, Ala.
